The statistical and analytical information provides general and not
individually specific information about the number of people who visit
this Website; the number of people who return to this site; the pages

monitor traffic on our Website so that we can manage the site’s

used by this site for:

the purposes for which it was provided by you;

verification purposes and statistical analysis; and

marketing and administration purposes.

*1 An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network, such
as the World Wide Web. Networks use the TCP/IP protocol to route
information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words,
an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your
computer whenever you are surfing the Web, allowing Web servers to
locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in
order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop.

*2 A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the global address of documents
and other resources on the World Wide Web.
